Fishing is for us Young
Fishing is for
us
YOUNG
or at least
YOUNG
at heart
For old
guys its
about the
beer
and
maybe the
bravado
of the
catch
For me
its all
about the
bobber
that makes it
simple
I leave the drama
under the
waves
I get
plenty of
drama every day
who needs
more
I just
focus on the
bobber and
dream
until the
fish
strikes and
I
conquer
Size Doesn't Matter---the poem
It's not
the biggest lure
not the biggest
fisherman
Not the biggest boat
those guys hire
guides
the biggest lure
not the biggest
fisherman
Not the biggest boat
those guys hire
guides
Fresh Not Frozen---the poem
Fresh
means
just caught
not frozen
in any
way
Fish is
best
taken from
the boat
and cooked on
shore
FRESH
Fresh
means nimble
not
frozen or
rigid in
any way
People
are best
fresh too
riding the wave
ready for the
new
How about you?
fresh
or
frozen
The Biggest Steak---the poem
The
Navy
Man
had a wish
a graduation
wish
just
one large
steak
Every
warrior
Every
David needs
a sling
to beat Goliath
the
steak
gives the
strength
beats the
fear
excites the
sprit
The family
watched
gathered
around
only coffee
to share
just to
watch the
feast
o.k.
maybe icecream
maybe
All the
entries
All
the
courses just
so
the Navy
Man
took it
slow
and conquered that
steak
42 ounces
tall
Reunion
Reunions
are nice
gathering in the
heat
Iowa of course
eating potato salad
before it
goes bad
Fishing is
better somehow
feeling
the wind
getting away
I think
I choose fishing
The Theory of Old Fishermen---a Review
The old
fishermen
get old
because they
wanted too
that's the
theory of
the
young
I'd love
to be a newbie
fishing for
the first time
wondering
just what
the fish
are hungry
for
Ya can't
worry about the
fish
and yourself
at the same
time without an
accident
so
be safe
find peace
worry about the
fish
fishermen
get old
because they
wanted too
that's the
theory of
the
young
I'd love
to be a newbie
fishing for
the first time
wondering
just what
the fish
are hungry

Ya can't
worry about the
fish
and yourself
at the same

accident
so
be safe
find peace
worry about the
fish

It's Fish Eating Time
Eating Fish
means
never counting
the calories
the sky's
the
limit
No small
bites
please
just bite
for the
gusto of
the moment
Kids get that
gusto
thing
they know they
got plenty of time
to count
calories
Later
The Bait Matters---the poem
The
bait lures
the fish
you
are the fisherman
not the
bait
The fisherperson
can
be boy
or girl
young
or old
weak
or
strong
but always
strong of
heart
Baiting
your own
hook
means
you
are ready
for the
bigtime
